Provides a regular monthly income if you’re unable to work.
Finding the right mortgage is about more than securing a competitive rate. The structure of your mortgage — from the term and repayment type to flexibility and fees — can have a lasting impact on your finances.
At Prudell, we take the time to understand your circumstances and goals before comparing options from across the market, ensuring your mortgage is aligned with both your current needs and future plans.
We start by reviewing your income, deposit, and overall affordability to understand how much you may be able to borrow and what type of mortgage could suit your circumstances. This gives you a clear, realistic starting point before committing to a property.
We compare mortgage products from across the market, clearly explaining the differences between fixed, variable, and other options, so you understand how each one works and what may suit you best.
Using your circumstances and future plans, we recommend a mortgage that fits your budget, lifestyle, and long-term goals — not just the lowest headline rate on the day.
When you’re ready to proceed, we manage the full mortgage application for you, handling paperwork and liaising with lenders and solicitors to keep everything progressing smoothly.
Once your mortgage offer is issued, we support you through to completion, providing clear updates and guidance at every stage of the process.
Our support doesn’t stop at completion. As your circumstances change, we’re here to review your mortgage options and ensure your mortgage continues to work for you over time.

Below are some common mortgage types you may want to consider when applying for a new mortgage. Your Prudell adviser will explain how each option works and help you choose a mortgage that suits your circumstances, both now and in the future.
The interest rate is fixed for a set period, helping you budget with confidence and protect against rate increases.
The rate moves in line with a set benchmark, such as the Bank of England base rate, meaning payments can rise or fall over time.
A mortgage where the interest rate can change at the lender’s discretion, offering flexibility but less certainty over payments.
Links your mortgage to your savings, allowing you to reduce the interest you pay while retaining access to your money.
A mortgage taken out with another person, combining incomes to potentially increase borrowing power.
Monthly payments cover interest only, with the loan balance repaid at the end of the term using an agreed repayment strategy.
A mortgage is a long-term commitment, and it’s important to consider how you would manage your payments if your circumstances were to change. Insurance protection can help provide financial security and peace of mind if the unexpected happens.
Your Prudell adviser can review your existing cover and discuss whether any additional protection may be appropriate for your current situation.
Pays a tax-free lump sum if you’re diagnosed with a serious condition (e.g. cancer, stroke, heart attack).
Provides monthly income if you can’t work due to illness or injury. Very useful for first-time buyers with limited savings.
Low-cost life cover that pays a monthly income to your dependants if you die. Helpful for young families planning ahead.
Provides a lump-sum payout if you pass away. Helps ensure your partner, family, or estate can repay the mortgage.

Most lenders require at least a 5% deposit, though putting down 10% to 20% can secure a better rate.
The more deposit you provide, the less risk for the lender — and the lower your interest rate is likely to be.
From application to completion, the process usually takes 4 to 8 weeks, depending on your circumstances, the property, and how quickly documentation is supplied.
Getting a Mortgage in Principle early can speed things up.
The potential fees are as follows:

Other Possible Fees
There are several types of mortgages to choose from, including fixed-rate, variable-rate, tracker, offset, and interest-only mortgages.
The best option depends on your financial goals, risk tolerance, and whether you prefer predictable payments or flexibility as rates change.
Your borrowing limit depends on your income, outgoings, credit score, and the lender’s affordability criteria.
Most lenders offer between 4 and 5 times your annual income, but this varies. A mortgage advisor can help calculate what’s realistic before you apply.
A fixed-rate mortgage keeps your interest rate (and monthly payment) the same for an agreed period — often 2 to 5 years.
A variable-rate mortgage can move up or down, usually tracking the Bank of England base rate or the lender’s own rate. Fixed rates offer stability; variable rates offer flexibility.
Beyond your deposit, you may need to budget for arrangement fees, valuation fees, solicitor costs, stamp duty, and broker fees.
Some lenders offer fee-free deals or allow you to add costs to your mortgage, but it’s best to review the total cost over the term.
A mortgage broker like Prudell has access to a wide range of lenders and can often find better deals than you’d find on your own.
Brokers also manage the application process, saving you time and reducing the chance of errors. Going direct may work for simple cases, but brokers usually offer more value overall.
Insurance protection provides financial security if something unexpected happens — such as death, illness, or loss of income. It ensures you, your family, or your business are protected from financial hardship and can continue meeting key financial commitments.
Yes. Many people combine policies (e.g. life, critical illness, and income protection) to cover different risks. The right mix depends on your financial goals and family situation.
As an independent financial adviser, Prudell can assess your needs and recommend the most suitable and cost-effective cover from the whole market.
Mortgage protection is designed to pay off your mortgage if you die during the policy term.
It can give your family peace of mind knowing they can remain in their home without financial strain.
You might — it depends on how your existing life cover is structured. Mortgage protection is usually a 'decreasing term insurance', designed to match your mortgage balance, whilst life insurance may provide a fixed lump sum for broader needs.
Yes. Joint mortgage protection policies pay out if either borrower dies during the policy term, helping the surviving partner keep the property without additional financial stress.
Common types include life insurance, critical illness cover, and income protection.
Each policy is designed to protect your personal income and wellbeing if you’re unable to work due to illness, injury, or death.
It depends on your income, expenses, debts, and dependents.
A financial adviser can help assess your situation and recommend the right level of cover.
Family protection provides a lump sum or ongoing income to your family if you die or become critically ill. It ensures they can maintain their lifestyle, cover household costs, and plan for the future.
Level term pays a one-off lump sum, while family income benefit pays a regular, tax-free income over a set period - often preferred for budgeting and long-term support.
Your home may be repossessed if you do not keep up repayments on your mortgage.
Understand the risks of major life events before retirement and the possible financial consequences if your income were affected. This assessment will provide guidance on the appropiate insurance protection to consider.
